Met with Dr Anthony......and we have a new plan!!!! Nancy will continue no meds until October 22. Then she will start AFINITOR, a drug made by Novartis. This just got approved, it is everolimus that also has exemestane (I have absolutely no idea if the last 2 big words are spelled right). You can google AFINITOR and see the information. Basically, it appears to be another approach with the same strength( risk and side effects) as the Femara. This is a daily pill. She will be on this for 90 days and then another set of scans to see what is going on.
They also made some minor adjustments to make Nancy more comfortable.
Nancy is glad to have a new plan! Thanks for all your support, BC
